an environmental catastrophe

On a planetary level, we are dealing with a very real and alarming climate change crisis caused by the impact of human development. Combating it requires unprecedented changes in all aspects of society, especially in sectors like land, building and transport.

There is no time to waste! What we do now and in the coming decade will have a profound impact on our future. But it is not too late to save our planet and ourselves.

Join us and the rest of Singapore on our journey towards a more sustainable society for ourselves, our children and for wildlife. Make changes towards the way you live today – take steps to reduce your carbon footprint.

act now: sustainable living

lifestyle

BYO: Say no to plastics and disposables. Always bring your own reusable bag, cups, bottles and reusable cutlery. Avoid single-use utensils, disposable chopsticks and plastic straws. Singapore uses over 2.2 million straws each day, according to a 2018 report.

Singaporeans love to “dabao”: Bring your own containers for takeaways and say no to styrofoam packaging.

Buy in bulk with less packaging: opt for fruits, vegetables and groceries that do not come in plastic packaging.

act now: love and protect nature

Treat all animals respectfully and live in harmony with our wildlife. Do not keep illegal wildlife as pets. Learn to appreciate native biodiversity and strive towards a progressive society where humans coexist with wildlife. Do not feed our wildlife such as monkeys, wild pigs, otters and birds.

Make a difference for wildlife. Do not buy or consume endangered products such as shark’s fin, ivory, marine turtle shells. Use eco-friendly products such as natural insect repellent when going outdoors.
